I watched one entirely On Battle of Al Alamein (Dont remember its name) It was Biased towards British. Watched some on Eastern Front But these had some Historical inaccuracies.It is very long list and I myself have forgotten many specific names (from having watched over many many years).
Let me start you off with the absolute needed viewing (if you havent):
For world war 1: "The Great War" (1964)
For World war 2: "The World at War" (its series spiritual, emotional successor) and my all time gold standard (1973)
26 episodes each I believe (all on the playlists on youtube I have given)
I don't think I felt so heart-wrenched from any other TV documentary series as "the world at war" and I have not brought myself to watch it in total again. So watch at your discretion and always remember what war can really mean on the ground instead of in front of your screen!
Why I suggest these two above all is that they have much footage of interviews with actual people that fought in the wars.....for WW1 that is exceedingly rare now...and WW2 may not be many years left.
From these documentaries you can then tell me which parts/segments you are most intrigued by and then I can refer you to more specific ones that focus more on those subjects.
In a way these are both very well presented but detailed "menus" for you to pick your specific meal from.

Your thoughts?
@waz can we sticky this thread please?
Other Than That I watched Documentries of Napoleonic Wars( Almost all of them Biased) Glorifying the Britsih thats why i asked as it would be nice to get an unbiased view.
Secondly are there any Documentaries about British Campaign In Subcontinent. Anglo Myore, War of independence , Anglo Sikh Wars. Especially About Anglo Sikh Wars As I Am Chattah and we were Sikhs back then. Been to some of places where some of these Battles were fought. Unfortunately Most of these places are no more. So i would be grateful if u could help me out on this one too.
